Sow borage and nasturtium seed for their edible flowers, which can be harvested from mid-summer onwards.

Lift and divide potentially invasive herbs (such as mint and lemon balm) that have outgrown their allotted space. Make sure to remove all stray roots, as they can easily become invasive. Growing it in pots will eliminate this risk.

Control weeds by hoeing between garden plants and by hand-weeding containers. Weed infested clumps may need lifting to disentangle weeds from the plant roots.
